Your iPhone could just turn out to be a liability if the right apps are not installed on it. Every iPhone user must understand that a new iPhone is almost an empty box and more or less useless; what makes it valuable and different from other empty boxes is the type of app you add to the phone. There are top 5 apps every iPhone user must have in order to make a difference.

I know you might just be asking yourself, what makes these apps great? Every phone user has his/her personal opinion regarding what app to add to their phone, no doubt. But these five apps are almost indispensable to you because they are not just there to make up the number; they add real value to your iPhone.

The kind of food you eat determines how healthy or otherwise you should be. Of course, your body will not hear any excuse as to why you ate what is potentially lethal. It is therefore, important that you watch whatever is going into your body whether they are safe or not.

You may not be able to manually check everything you buy from the supermarkets or grocery stores because the human eyes sometimes skip important information as we are always in haste. We miss out important health alarms that should keep us safer. However, with an app like Fooducate, you will never miss the smallest details on the type of foods you purchase.

Fooducate enables us to scan the barcode of any food item we purchase and check their “grade.” The grades for every food item is stored in the database of the app. This includes ingredients, the calories, and every other thing you would love to know about the product thereby providing you an idea of all that is contained in the product and how safe they are.

The app goes the extra mile in explaining the reason behind the grade for each product, giving you the right and detailed information that keeps you healthy.

In this era where the cyberspace is filled with hackers and viruses, the need to keep your vital information in a safe place becomes inevitable. Every day, thousands of information are compromised, and keeping yours in an unsafe place could make your vital information evaporate in a second if you have no proper backup for them.

For instance, did you know that over 225,000 iPhone accounts were hacked in 2015 alone? You may not have been told that your iPhone could be hacked without you even knowing it.

Having a quality cloud service where you can upload your files and share them across multiple platforms and devices like laptop, desktop, tablets, phones, etc is very important. That is exactly what the Dropbox apps do for you.

Apart from helping to keep a backup of your files in case your phone is hacked, Dropbox enables you to control who has access to your files as only those you share them with can access them.
